باب مَا يُسْتَحِبُّ فِي طَبخ اللحم ونهيه وتكثير الْمِرَقِ وَعَدْمِ تَعَاطِيْهِ حَارًاChapter: What Is Recommended in Cooking Meat, Prohibition, Increasing Broth, and Not Eating It Hot
Hadith 7412
اُردوEn
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا طَبَخْتُمُ اللَّحْمَ فَأَكْثِرُوا الْمَرَقَ أَوْ الْمَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ أَوْسَعُ أَوْ أَبْلَغُ لِلْجِيرَانِ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: When you cook meat, add more water to it so that there is plenty of broth; thus, there will be enough to give to your neighbors as well.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Allah Ta'ala has, in several places in the Noble Qur'an, commanded good conduct towards neighbors. The method of fulfilling this command has been taught to us by the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): that when there is meat or any stew-like dish, water should be added to increase the broth, and whether the neighbor asks for it or not, it should be given to them. This good conduct is a golden principle in social life.
